    Before you get started exploring

    <ul>
      <li>You can tell a link from plain content by the hand-shaped cursor. </li>

      <li> Besides browsing the web, <i>Dillo</i> also has basic file browsing
           capabilities included. So, entering <a href="file:">file:</a> in your
           <i>Dillo</i> URL window will give you the contents of your current
           working directory, and <a href="file:~">file:~</a> entered in the
           same place will point your <i>Dillo</i> browser right to your home
           directory...

      <li> <i>Dillo</i>, at this stage of development, yet is <u>not</u> ready
           to render pages that utilize <b><font color="#a22222">frames</font></b>.
           Nevertheless, it comes with a tiny handler (lynx/w3m like) that will
           let you choose wich frame to visit, one by one.

      <li> <i>Dillo</i>  has  <b><font color="#a22222">context
           sensitive menus</font></b> using the
           right  mouse  button (available on pages, links, images, the Back
           and Forward buttons, and bug meter).

      <li> Some  of the functions in <i>Dillo</i> are handled by independent
           processes.  For  instance,  downloads come through <em>wget</em>.
           If <i>Dillo</i> crashes, or simply exits, the download
           will survive! (more details below).

    <tr><td BGCOLOR="#b0b0FF">
    <ul>
      <li> You can scroll around your <i>Dillo</i> main window using
           CTRL+{PgUp|PgDwn|Home|End} or using the mouse middle button. If
           nothing happens when keys are pressed, try
           <b> <font color="#a22222">focussing</font></b> your <i>Dillo</i> main
           window, first, by clicking it (not on any link!:)).

      <li>You can use the space key as PgDn, and {'b' | 'B'} as PgUp.</li>
      <li> Same way, you can use "<b>,</b>" and "<b>.</b>" as shortcuts for
           forward and backward buttons (mnemonic: those
           keys are usually labeled "<" and ">").
      <li> Ctrl+B and "<b>;</b>" serve as shortcuts for bookmarks.

      <li> Whenever you feel like customizing your <i>Dillo</i> browser or are
           somewhat unhappy with the way it looks or acts, you might want to
           check your <b><font color="#a22222">dillorc</font></b> file (if you
           don't have a copy of it on your ~/.dillo/ directory, get it 
           <a href='dillorc.dillo1.html'>here</a>). 
           It holds quite an amount of
           options on how to configure appearance and behaviour of the
           <i>D</i>. This file is very well commented, so you won't feel lost
           moving around in there.

      <li> Clicking the "Reload" button always will request an end-to-end reload
           of the site currently viewed, but it will *not* reload embedded
           images during this process.

      <li> Dialogs can be closed with the ESC key.

      <li> Following the desires of modern desktop users, <i>Dillo</i> also
           features removable control panels, so you are able to rip the main
           menu, the URI window and the navigation bar out of the program main
           window (by dragging them from the leftmost part) and place them
           wherever you want on your desktop.
      <li> The whole window area can be used to display the pages. Just
           click on the lower right corner icon, or double-click
           on an empty area!

    If you're not a developer pick a binary package of Dillo-0.8.6

    If you want to compile it, you'll need FLTK2

   Dillo's <em>Bug meter</em> shows the number of
